The Roundup

Quirks of the OED

This post over at Publishing 2.0 touches on the whole digital newspaper thing again, but most interesting is its last paragraph and the conclusion that sites need not fear directing traffic away from themselves straight into the arms of their competitors. Karp calls it “the Google rule”: “the better job you do sending people away, the more they will come back.”

A really nice discussion of the leviathan topic “the future of the book” that points out that print is good for some stuff, digital is good for some other stuff, and that there exists a possibility of a happy medium. I’m not sure the medium is so happy (can you say wasted paper?) but it’s interesting. (John, you’ll like this one.)
